Multiple sources have confirmed that Fenerbahce have officially submitted a bid for Yusuf Akcicek. The offer for the Al Hilal defender had been speculated for a number of weeks, but represents the first concrete bid for the player. While negotiations continue, they are said to be progressing. Al Hilal are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. With only 17 goals conceded in 20 (0.85 per game), Fenerbahce have been one of the stronger defences in the Super Lig this season.. Yusuf Akcicek would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Al Hilal have also been linked with Saimon Bouabre, Karim Benzema and Jean Matteo Bahoya while Fenerbahce are reportedly monitoring Sidiki Cherif, Youssef Chermiti and N`Golo Kante.
